NEW YORK (AP) -- Middle Easterners should be targeted for searches on city subways, two elected officials said, contending that police have been wasting time with random checks in efforts to prevent terrorism in the transit system.

"They all look a certain way," said Hikind, a Democrat from Brooklyn. "It's all very nice to be politically correct here, but we're talking about terrorism."

I love how the police and people who actually have experience in these matters are saying that it doesn't work and isn't effective and still politicians keep on a steady course that is opposing the Constitution and thus the United States. I really can't stand these people that as soon as something happens the first thing they want to do is remove the parts of the constitution that protect other people.

Macarthyism indeed...

but remember the politicians are instruments of the will of the constituency(and lobbyists for that matter), and are subject to review and removal.


It is good common sence to say "dont check me officer, check the raghead!" but it dont make it right or just. But that is a dead horse we are kicking.

maybe if the news wasn't full of "OMG terrorists, OMG OMG, terror alert set to red! ...etc." people wouldn't be so paranoid. check out the movie series 'The Powers of Nightmares' here . some interesting stuff in there

It's simple ... our elected officials reflect the constituency.

So, ask yourselves this: who is your State Representative? Who is your Senator? Do you have a Mayor, or Selectmen?

Now, who won the first season of Survivor?

See how it works

I know who my Senators are, and they're both horribly and tragically stupid.

Nope, ..I really don't see a pattern here to justify
profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never
offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing
us, airport security screeners will no longer be
allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct
random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids,
airline pilots with proper identification, secret
agents who are members of the President's security
detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and
Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss,
but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40
alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

Thank you facts for being a mindless anti-american who can copy and paste what someone else wrote. I'm sure Timothy McVeigh and Ted Kazinsky fit in perfectly with that category. I'm sure that the KKK fits in perfectly into that profile. You even have a kidnap and murder. How many kidknaps and murders are performed by blacks, white and hispanics? The point of fact is that the police and homeland security say that it isn't effective and is against the constitution and yet you still you post this mindless dribble. Thank you McCarthy, please, take your anti-american views somewhere else. If you don't like a country that protects its citizens no matter who the are or where they are from, please, by all means, go ahead and leave. Nobody will stop you. I'm not trying to force you to leave, that would be anti-american. What I am saying is that if you don't like equality, you can always leave.

[Yama]

If you were an American-Muslim between the age of 17 and 40, would you want to be profiled and searched?

[NJPaint]

I mean do I have to list for you ever single time a crime was committed by a non-Arab or non-muslim? Sounds like you are in favor of the Japanese internment and McCarthyism. To be perfectly honest, since the United States realized that what it did in those two instances were wrong, you would think that people would learn. But no, its the same thing over and over. As a part Japanese American, who's grandfather served in the US Army during WWII in Japan, I honestly think that you are hurting the United States and its ideals far more than any muslim terrorist ever could. You are denouncing the fundamentals of what it means to be an American.

[CaptaiN_JacK]

At least the Muslim extremists aren't doing the worst terrorism act possible: weakening the Constitution. That terrorist job was left up the the smarter, more intellectual of the terrorists: the rich, white, power-hungry politicians.

Hey FactsOfLife:

Thanks for reposting your crap email that someone sent you. It was well-representitive of the entirety of US - Middle Eastern relations, especially in the 20th century. Now, back to NewsMax and the Post with you.

Thanks,

[sbpyro]

factsoflife uses the same argument that a co-worker (who by the way is Lebanonese) uses which is "we know who the enemy is" argument.

Unfortunately that seems to be the prevailing thought here in the US. Heck I've got friends who swear by god that islam is a violent religon devoted to killing all Christians catholic whatever (sorry as soon as he started to talk religon I lost focus on the conversation.)

[wad04]

i personally believe factsoflifes post made sense (even if it was an email). Yes it is racial profiling, but the bottom line is it makes sense. Do I hate the islam relgion? no. Do i hate Muslims? no. But look at who is doing this to us, its not your average american. Its middle eastern extremists (who in no way represent the relgion of islam) that have decided to wage war on the west.
If you can justify why we need to screen children and older women, tell me right now because its not them who are killing thousands of inocent lifes around the world.

Yes, someone else wrote it. And that invalidates it exactly how?

For every Ted Kocinsky and McVeigh there are literally HUNDREDS of militant IslamoFascists that have commited acts of terror that fit this profile.

Congrats on your newly outspoken stance in defense of terrorism. Your parent must be so proud.

You are a classic example of the Useful Idiot.

Now go stand in the corner with Osama and Moore. Failure.
